Job description

Shape strategy and support local communities as a Governor of DN Colleges Group to help drive progress in education, finance, estates and audit.

Applications for this role close at 9 a.m. Monday 2nd June.

Location: Doncaster, Scunthorpe and Hull

At DN Colleges Group, we work towards a common goal: transforming our communities through learning. This vision reflects our belief in our students and our ability to transform their lives positively. Our students are at the heart of everything we do.

Together, we can ensure they reach their full potential as they move forward to successful futures, contributing to their communities and our region’s social and economic needs.

DN Colleges Group serves a broad community of post-16 young people and adult learners across a diverse and impactful curriculum. Our current strategy reinforces the driving principles of our merger that concluded in 2017/2018. We continue to focus on retaining the distinctiveness of our Colleges and serving the needs of our local communities, while collaborating as a Group to share best practice, to continually improve the quality of our learning, teaching and assessment and to follow a strategy of growth and investment for our future.

About the role

Our Board has a positive and collaborative culture, and our Governors are passionate about educational excellence and continuous improvement to ensure the best outcomes for all our students.

Governors are critical to the College’s success. The support and challenge they provide help shape the college’s mission, vision, values, and strategic objectives, all of which are vital to the College’s continued success.

With several independent members coming to the end of their respective terms of office by the end of this academic year, we seek to appoint new members to support our succession planning. We are looking to engage new Governors from various backgrounds with the expertise, experience, and commitment to play a vital role in shaping DN College Group’s continued success and growth.

We do have some particular areas of interest and expertise that we are keen to bring to our Board, and these are:

  • Audit & Risk
  • Finance & Resources
  • Estates & Capital Development 

Who we are looking for

We are looking for Governors who bring a blend of strategic thinking, leadership, and governance experience to DN Colleges Group. You should have a strong commitment to education and skills development, with the ability to analyse data, communicate effectively, and uphold the highest standards of integrity. We value your dedication to promoting equality, financial awareness, and ethical leadership. Understanding the local socio-economic landscape and relevant industries would be advantageous, as it will enhance your ability to contribute meaningfully to the college’s strategic objectives and community impact.
